  • I’ve been running HA in a VM for a long time, and that VM can migrate between machines. USB is not the solution for me, I want that teased PoE unit. I’ve been running PoE powered Zigbee and Zwave units so that if my VM migrates the system doesn’t go down. It can also allow me to run multiple HA instances if I so choose (which would probably get complicated fast; I don’t do that)

    That being said, this is great for anyone who isn’t a hardware tinkerer.

    Now if we could just get more products in America that aren’t forced to use the cloud over WiFi…



  • People generalize this topic too much.

    If Pete Hegseth posted his sex tape it’d be wildly unprofessional, but ultimately who cares (and why should they?)

    If Pete hegseth posted the sex tape of an unwilling participant that he surprise donkeypunched while she was underage in exchange for money to get her tonsils out, that’s a bit of a different thing.

    America has taught too many people to cower at “what the LORD might think” and accept the word of their leaders as though it was handed down as such.

    So when they hear “SEX” they shut down and they go “only the DEVIL would make such accusations at the brave men who deliver our LORDS message to us!”

    It’s literally brainwashing.






  • The easiest solution if you want to have managed VMs IMHO is to just make a large VM for all your docker stuff on Proxmox and then you get the best of both worlds.

    Abstracting docker into its own VM isn’t going to add THAT much overhead, and the convenience of Proxmox for management of the other VMs will make that situation much easier.

    LXC for docker can be made to work, but it’s fiddly and it probably won’t gain you much in the long run.

    Now, all these other issues you seem to be having with the Proxmox host itself; are you sure you have networking set up correctly, etc? curl should be working no problem; I’m not sure what’s going on there.


  • It may be better now but I’ve always had problems with Docker in LXC containers; I think this has to do with my storage backend (Ceph) and the fact that LXC is a pain to use with network mounts (NFS or SMB); I’ve had to use bind mounts and run privileged LXCs for anything I needed external storage for.

    Proxmox is about managing VMs and LXCs. I’d just create a VM and do all your docker in there. Perhaps make a second VM so you can shuffle containers around while doing upgrades.

    If you plan to have your whole setup be exclusively Docker and you have no need for VMs or LXCs, then Proxmox might be a bunch of overhead you don’t need.

    I use the LXCs for simple stuff that does a bare-metal type install within them, and I use the VMs for critical services like OPNSense firewall/routers. I also have a Proxmox cluster across three machines so I can live-migrate VMs during upgrades and prevent almost any downtime. For that use case it’s rock solid. It’s a great product and it offers a lot.

    If you just need a single machine and only Docker, it’s probably overkill.
